防风(Saposhnikovia divaricata)组织培养中的玻璃化现象研究

以防风茎段为外植体，建立了组织培养再生体系，对防风试管苗玻璃化现象进行了研究。结果表明，与正常苗相比，玻璃化苗形态异常，组织含水量升高，叶绿素含量显著降低，酸性过氧化物同工酶活性减弱。6-BA浓度超过2．0mg／L、光照低于2000Ix、培养瓶内湿度大都极易导致防风试管苗的玻璃化，减少愈伤继代次数，增加培养基内琼脂和蔗糖浓度，可以降低玻璃化率。轻中度的玻璃化苗通过改变培养环境可以恢复正常。优化的防风再生体系为：以嫩茎段为外植体，继代3次左右的愈伤组织诱导出芽，芽继代增殖时，6-BA浓度采用1．0mg／L和0．5mg／L交替使用，培养光照3000～4000Ix。

不同降水量对防风(Saposhnikovia divaricata)幼苗生长状态的影响

通过对不同水份条件下防风幼苗的根冠比、根粗和根重三项形态指标及幼苗中丙二醛、可溶性糖及叶绿素含量三项生理指标的测定,证明了在以甘南县为代表的黑龙江省西部半干旱气候条件下,防风幼苗在降水量超过40mm情况下可以正常生长。人工栽培时要根据实际情况处理,如苗期降水量少于40mm,幼苗会受到干旱胁迫,要依据缺水的程度补足水份或选择在雨水充足的季节之前播种。在本实验进行的气候和土壤条件下,除降水量外,根冠比、根粗、根重、丙二醛含量、可溶性糖含量和叶绿素含量也可作为判断防风幼苗能正常生长的依据。降水量低于40mm时随着干旱胁迫的加深,丙二醛和可溶性糖含量不断提高,而叶绿素含量逐渐降低。

HPLC Fingerprint Combined with Chemometrics and Network Pharmacology for Q-Markers Prediction Analysis of Saposhnikovia divaricata

Saposhnikovia divaricata(SD)has high medicinal and edible value,but relatively little research has been done on its qual-ity markers(Q-markers).To further clarify the Q-markers of SD with their corresponding pharmacodynamic targets.In this experiment,14 batches of SD were identified and screened for Q-marker candidate components using a combination of HPLC fingerprint with similarity analysis,principal component analysis,hierarchical cluster analysis,and partial least squares discriminant analysis.Then,network pharmacology was used to predict Q-markers and core targets.The results showed that 5-O-methylvisammioside,cimifugin,and prim-O-glucosylcimifugin could be used as Q-markers of SD;while,MAPK1,MAPK3,PIK3CA,JUN,and MAPK8 were the core targets of SD for drug efficacy.To further evaluate the bind-ing efficiency of Q-markers,molecular docking of the main active ingredients of SD to the core targets was performed.The results showed that the compounds bind well to their targets,and binding energies were all less than-5 kcal/mol.The Q-markers obtained from the screening were closely related to the core target genes,which could achieve therapeutic effects by modulating the relevant signaling pathways.This study offers a reference for the establishment of a set of quality control evaluation system for SD potential Q-markers prediction analysis,and lays the foundation for elucidating the mechanism of actionunderlying itspharmacodynamic substance.

Transcriptome analysis of Saposhnikovia divaricata and mining of bolting and fowering genes

Objective: Early bolting of Saposhnikovia divaricata has seriously hindered its medicinal value and sustainable development of resources. The molecular mechanism of bolting and fowering of S. divaricata is still unclear and worth of research. In our study, we explored the transcriptome of the genes related to the bolting and fowering of S. divaricata.Methods: The transcriptome library was constructed, sequenced, assembled and annotated from the bolting and unbolting leaves of S. divaricata by high-throughput sequencing at the bud and fowering stage.Focus on the pathways related to bolting and fowering in plants, and exploring genes. The expression of seven candidate genes was verified by real-time fuorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR).Results: Transcriptome results showed that 249 889 422 high-quality clean reads were obtained. A total of 67 866 unigenes were assembled with an average length of 948.1 bp. Trinity de Novo assembly produced 67 866 unigenes with an average length of 948.1 bp. Among 993 differentially expressed genes,484 genes were significantly up-regulated and 509 genes were down-regulated in the SdM group. A total of 79 GO terms were significantly enriched for differentially expressed genes. KEGG results showed that 11 154 unigenes were enriched in 89 pathways. And 21 candidate genes related to bolting and fowering of S. divaricata were excavated. The qRT-PCR results showed that expression trends of HDA9, PHYB, AP2,TIR1, Hsp90, CaM, and IAA7 were consistent with transcriptomic sequencing results. In addition, RNA-seq had identified 10 740 transcription factors and classified them into 58 families by their conserved domains. Further studies showed that the transcription factors regulating the fowering of S. divaricata were mainly distributed in the NAC, MYB_related, HB-other, ARF, and AP2 families.Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it was found that the plant hormone signal transduction pathway was one of the decisive factors to control bolting and fowering. Among them, auxin related genes IAA and TIR1 are the key genes in the bolting and fowering process of S. divaricata.

Specification and grade of Saposhnikoviae Radix(Saposhnikovia divaricata)

Objective:Saposhnikoviae Radix(Fangfeng in Chinese),the roots of Saposhnikovia divaricata,lacks commodity specification and grade standardization in the current market.This study investigated the existing specifications and grades of Saposhnikoviae Radix to provide a standardized scientific reference for its market use.Methods:Based on a textual research of Chinese herbal medicine from the Han Dynasty to the present,medicinal materials of different specifications and grades obtained from Saposhnikoviae Radix in the main producing areas of China were collected and the markets for these materials were investigated.Field investigations were performed in the major producing areas such as Northeast China,Hebei Province,and Inner Mongolia.Four major Chinese herbal medicine markets in China were investigated.Sensory indices were used to categorize the two specifications(wild and cultivated)according to the shape,color,texture,and cross-section.High-performance liquid chromatography was performed to determine the active components.Vernier calipers and measuring tape were used to measure the diameter and length,respectively,of 41 samples.Using Excel and the R Language software,cluster analysis and descriptive statistical analysis were performed to assist in the application of new specifications and grades based on physical characteristics,pharmacological activity,and chemical composition.Results:The two specifications(wild and cultivated)of Saposhnikoviae Radix were divided into three grades each based on the length and diameter.Prim-O-glucosylcimifugin,5-O-methylvisamminoside,and the length of Saposhnikoviae Radix can be used as a basis for classifying the commodity specifications and grades.The specifications and grade standards of Saposhnikoviae Radix were established based on the following eight aspects:shape,surface characteristics,texture,cross section,taste,prim-Oglucosylcimifugin content,5-O-methylvisamminoside content and length.Conclusion:The formulation of this standard stipulates the commodity specification level of Saposhnikoviae Radix.It is also suitable for the evaluation of commodity specifications in the process of production,circulation and use of Saposhnikoviae Radix.

Purification, structure characterization and antioxidant activity of polysaccharides from Saposhnikovia divaricata

Polysaccharide from traditional Chinese herb, Saposhnikovia divaricata(Turcz.) Schischk.(SD) was extracted, fractionated and characterized in this work. Four fractions were prepared. Their molecular weight, monosaccharide compositions, linkage modes and structural properties were characterized with SEC-MALS-RI, HPAEC-PAD, GC-MS and NMR. SDP1 was assigned as a 1, 4-α-glucan with small amount of O-6 linked branches. SDP2 contained a big amount of the 1, 4-α-glucan and a small amount of arabinogalactan, while SDP3 possessed relatively lower amount of the 1, 4-α-glucan and a big amount of the arabinogalactan. SDP4 was defined as a pectic arabinogalactan. Four fractions showed antioxidant activities in both molecular and cellular levels and their activity was ranked as SDP4 ≈ SDP3>SDP2>SDP1. The 1, 4-α-glucan in SDP1 had the weakest, while SDP3 and SDP4 showed similar and the highest antioxidant activity. The arabinogalactan was the major component of both SDP3 and SDP4, which significantly contributed to the antioxidant activity of SDP.

Transcriptomic analysis identifies differentially expressed genes(DEGs) associated with bolting and flowering in Saposhnikovia divaricata

Saposhnikovia divaricata is a valuable Chinese medicinal herb; the transformation from vegetative growth to reproductive growth may lead to the decrease of its pharmacological activities. Therefore, the study of bolting and flowering for Saposhnikovia divaricata is warranted. The present study aimed to reveal differentially expressed genes(DEGs) and regularity of expression during the bolting and flowering process, and the results of this study might provide a theoretical foundation for the suppression of early bolting for future research and practical application. Three sample groups, early flowering, flower bud differentiation, and late flowering(groups A, B, and C, respectively) were selected. Transcriptomic analysis identified 67, 010 annotated unigenes, among which 50, 165 were differentially expressed including 16, 108 in A vs B, and 17, 459 in B vs C, respectively. Gene ontology(GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway functional classification analysis were performed on these differentially expressed genes, and five important pathways were significantly impacted(P ≤ 0.01): plant circadian rhythm, other glycan degradation, oxidative phosphorylation, plant hormone signal transduction, and starch and sucrose metabolism. Plant hormone signal transduction might play an important role in the bolting and flowering process. The differentially expressed indole-3-acetic acid(IAA) gene showed significant down-regulation during bolting and flowering, while the transport inhibitor response 1(TIR1) gene showed no significant change during the bolting process. The expression of flowering related genes FLC, LYF, and AP1 also showed a greater difference at different development stages. In conclusion, we speculate that the decrease in auxin concentration is not caused by the degrading effect of TIR1 but by an alternative mechanism.
